Alright. Let's compromise.

A draw for the lions.

And Port get smashed by the cats and the 75% of the footy media air time is absorbed with questions like how much impact did the Allir stuff have, are port unravelling, will Kenny now nor get resigned, etc etc.

 

Even with a close loss, Fox set the tone vis a vis Port after the game, by (probably rightly) discussing their injury list and outs. They maintained that they weren't worried by Port's form slump and they just needed to get healthy again (Brad Johnson).

They've lost 4 games in a row, mounting injuries and are 3 weeks out from finals. Get real, they're in big trouble.

Haven’t heard a single commentator mention that we’ve been playing and winning without Oliver and Fritsch tho 🙄

Port did have a giant injury list yesterday. Geelong too are missing lots of key players and were absolutely horrific. Port should have won that.

Why at Marvel??

 

Because they are contracted to play 2-3 games there per season. I believe they approached the AFL several weeks ago trying to get the game moved to the G and have the Freo game rd 18 moved to Marvel. They cited maximising crowd capacity, truth be known Lions play well at Marvell.

It was the perfect result.

Port lost. Tough game that hopefully they struggle to come up from.

And the cats win, but at home really should have done so much more impressively.

Pick 3 is on!

Freo have Lions, WC, Port, Hawks

They need to lose all of them. 3/4 is likely but boy wouldn’t a derby loss be fantastic.

The Hawks have Doggies, Dees and Freo. If they win 2/3 or even 3/3 (No!!!), Freo drop to 3rd last! 

The Hawks will bully the Doggies next week and I predict another upset, they’ll run out of legs against us by then rebound to overtake Freo on the ladder in the final round!

 

slim chance. I think the Hawks coughing up the win against the Tiges 2 weeks ago put paid to pick 3 for us.

Well, maybe we're at the point where we don't need to comment on the views of various Fox commentators because, like the old Channel 9 cricket commentary team, most of them are there because they once were top level VFL/AFL players rather than having any actual expertise (let alone doing any independent research/analysis) but... 

Yes, obviously Port are going to be better with a healthier list but by then they're likely to be 3rd or 4th and having to play Away Qualifiers/Prelims in Brisbane or at the MCG. They're going to finish Top 4 but their task is so much harder than the Top 2 they were almost guaranteed 4 weeks ago.

But back to deathriding Fremantle, I'm happy to park the deathride today against Brisbane and in Round 23 against Port. In a perfect world they win those 2 and lose against West Coast in Round 22 & Hawthorn in Round 24 😀.

Pick 3 isn't on, especially after Fremantle do the right thing by Melbourne and beat Brisbane today 😀. The 2 out of 3 vs Fremantle 0 out of 4 scenario could work but Hawthorn would need to make up 9% on Fremantle (about 80 points differential), not helped by the fact they Hawthorn need to lose to Melbourne. Helping of course is that Hawthorn are playing Fremantle in Round 24.

 

Deathride can have a week off this week, go Dockers.

My point was more that like The Australian newspaper did for years in politics, the Fox commentary (and 7), sets the tone for the AFL media narrative for the following week.

But you're right, it's irrelevant what they say.

Nah go Brisbane by one point. 
We will overtake the Lions anyway 🤌

Deathride suspended today. A Lions loss leaving us in second place more important than draft position.

Normal service to return next week.

Freo by 53 and ruining Brisbane’s percentage are more my requirements.

Strange barracking for the Dockers after a season of Death Riding. Feel like I needed to be deprogrammed first. 

feel the same. there were always 2 teams to support each week; the Demons and whoever was playing Freo

Feels good to support Luke Jackson's success again, if only for one game.

Freo haven't disappointed me much this year and looks like they won't disappoint today either.


I can’t get around this deathriding stuff. 

We absolutely want Brisbane to lose. A flag and pick 6 is infinitely better than no flag and pick 4.

It’s far less stressful than barracking for Geelong.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
